Is this the machine? I don't have this one yet, my sister way up north just picked it up for me, but I can't wait to see it in person, as I see nothing but "vintage sewing machine" when I look at it, plus I'm a little "Singered out" lately.
The other White I have, a Model 65, maybe from the same era, is as smooth as any of the other Singers I have, and sews very quietly.
Please post a picture of yours.
